Recurrence after resection of NSCLC
Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and these patients have the best prognosis. However, local recurrence is a common cause of death in this group and the course and predictors of post-recurrence survival in resected stage I NSCLC have not been studied. In this month’s Thorax, Hung and colleagues studied local recurrence and its outlook in stage I NSCLC. The hazard of death was greater with large tumour size. Patients who were operated on again had the best outcome. These results are discussed in an accompanying editorial by Pham and Harpole, who remind us that our success rate with the management of stage I NSCLC can be improved. See pages 185 and 192
